Fostering scholarship in women's health is one of the essential mandates of the
Coalition for Research in Women's Health. Tools like the Directory of Women's
Health Researchers at the University of Toronto were designed to help students
find appropriate mentors. The new Collaborative Graduate Program in Women's Health
at the University of Toronto will provide new opportunities to create events and
seminars specifically for women's health students.
